Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-21347

A second Windows Deployment Services denial of service bug appears here, distinct from the earlier WDS CVE in this batch, rated High 8.8 with a 22 percent EPSS score on Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019. The lower EPSS compared to the earlier WDS finding at 58 percent suggests this particular code path is seen as less likely to be targeted, even though the underlying service and impact are the same. It has not been confirmed exploited or linked to ransomware.

Do this: Patch WDS servers for both this and the earlier deployment services CVE in the same batch.
